An odd headline for a cloth

It has a truthful look. We
rely on the clothing for it.
We rely on a generous con-
struction. of what a profit
means. fit means saddling

isn't our idea of a profit. We
mean a profit that leaves be-
hind it a just equivalent for
your money. We distin-

reliable clothing from COM

shine. One just price in
plain figures and at a fair

The Democrats are by this time rub.

imperative through the action of the

least 20 per cent, But what truth
there Is in The estimate no one can tell.
1t Is certain that the railroads were
pretty thlckly covered with these par
asltes. They had done or were ex-
pec'ed to DO something for the rail
roads, that would be the equivalent for
the free rides. 1t was not an unfriend-
~ hand which scraped them all oil.
But that which is good for the rail
roads has not been so profitable for
enterprises based on the railroads.
The dead-heads usually considered
that they could afford sleeper, seeing
that they were being hauled to their
destination free. But now, as they

sent that the earnings of twenty
roads under The first week of the In.
lerstate Commerce law, show falling
off in receipts of $166,392. If there is
any reliance to be placed on these
figures. the reason of the decline must
have been due to either one or two
causes--an increase of rates, or uncer-
tainty rs to rates, or both. 1t is not
stated whether any 0f the Pacific rail
roads were included in the list. If
they were, there is no great mystery
to be solved Pacific Coast business is

Lyon County Times: The first re-
tort, since the introduction OF the cleo
lrie system INTO the Douglass mill was
gotten ont yesterday. The result more
than verifes the expectations of the
most sangune. The bullion produc-
ton has been about doubled. The
tineness of lbe bullion has been IN
creased, reducing the expense of re-
tortlng and refining. The quicksilver
return shows that at least 50 per cent.
of the usual loss has been recovered.
Success has now been established be-
You'd the possibility of doubt. 1t
has also been demonstrated that the
stock of quicksilver necessary to carry
on the mill may DE reduced about one
third. 1t has also been demonstrated
that, the amount of copper solution
may be materially decreased. Settler
samples that formerly assayed as high
as 50 II per ton, have been reduced to
81 81 per ton, with prospects of still
further reduction. The quicksilver
return can not be given accurately
but il is known that it will not fall
below the So per cent. mentioned, and
may go much higher.

bad features of the Interstate Com

said to have reached an end. 1t will

grown wherever land issubiect to irri

that the reservoir system will be re

this way great deal of land will be

Referring to the decision in the suit
of the Aurora Hill Mining Company
VS.. III. w. Tangerman, the Carson I'm
ion says:
"The decision rendered yesterday by
Judge Sabin in the U. S. Circuit Court
in the case of Blasdel VS.. Tangerman,
is upon the question whether ASSESS
menr" work on mining ground is re-
quired after payment has been made
for the claim on application for U, s.
patent. The decision follows the gen.
eral rule that after payment the land
is so far the property of the purchaser
that ejectment may be maintained in
the courts against lrespassers. In the
above case the contention was that the
proceedings of Blasdel tor patent TO
the ground are so defective that a
patent cannot result from the pay ment
and that hence he is not in condition
to maintain ejectment against the re.
localors who are in possession. The
Court rules otherwise. This decision
is not thought to be conclusive on the
question OF the title, as the General
Land Office is proceeding regularly to
test the question why Blasdel's entry
OF the mining ground in AURORA shall
not be cancelled. Should such cancel
lation follow the land Office hearing
which takes place on the Goth instant
II is thought that the judgment of the
Circuit Court will not be enforced.

The pension agitation continues and
there are plenty of eligible claimants
to clamor for NOSE pension laws.
Few posts of the Grand Army have
moral courage enough to oppose the
raid on the Treasury, as il is hard to
draw the line, and there is no doubr
that there are many old soldiers
worthy of National support. Still the
chances are that very few deserving
men who need pensions are not on
the list, and the safer way will be to
allow the already liberal provisions to
remain as they are.

A war has been declared between
the American and California Sugar
Refining Companies, and the conse-
quence is dry graduated sugar has
been reduced TO five cents II pound
lower than it was ever sold before in
this market.
Sugar could have been imported
from Germany two years ago and re-
tailed in this market for six cents a
pound. The combination was so strong
the dealers dare not oppose, and The
public paid the rates demanded, which
were fixed by the sugar retineries.
Sugar has been tumbling in price for
several years, but the Pacific Coast
was the last section to reap any advan-
tage from the decrease. Only when
the refineries fell out could the peo-
pie get their dues. There is plethora
of beet sugar in the markets of Eu
rope, and this, coupled with the ces-
sation of the compact between the
overland railroads and the Pacific re.
ineries, by which no sugar could be
brought from the East at less trans.
portation than two cents Il pound,
brings about a contest between the two
main retineries, for the somewhat lim-
tied mar ket of the Coast. and the peo-
pie can now sweeten up at reasonable
rates,-Er
